Phytohemagglutinin P

• CAT Number: I044921
• Purity: ≥95%

Phytohemagglutinin P (Cat No.:I044921) is a plant-derived lectin extracted from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney beans). It is a mitogenic protein known for its ability to agglutinate red blood cells and stimulate lymphocyte proliferation, particularly T cells. PHA-P is widely used in immunological research to assess immune function, study cell cycle progression, and activate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in vitro. Its potent mitogenic effect makes it valuable for investigating signal transduction, cytokine production, and cellular responses in immunotoxicology and pharmacology. Due to its bioactivity, careful handling and dosage control are essential.
